I'm not a scientist and have many questions about this Steroid, one of which pertains to whether near race day injection can hide another drug or an alchemy of drugs that in union may boost performance.
Sticking to the drug in question, if the drug is present upon race day it involves behavior that is illegal. Whether that steroid, so clearly injected near race day, can do more than reduce inflammation or mask the sensations of joint deterioration is not something I wish to make acquitting conclusions about.
